The Air mix actuator(Temperature actuator) located at heater unit. It contains temp motor that changes temp door position and potentiometer that monitors position of temp door. The Air mix actuator(Temperature actuator) regulates the temperature by the procedure as follows. Signal from control unit adjusts position of temp door by operating temp motor and then temperature will be regulated by the hot/cold air ratio decided by position of temp door. In operation, potentiometer delivers temp door position transformed into voltage value to A/C ECU.
The ECM sets DTC B2406 if the driver air mix actuator dosen’t move to intended position within 40sec (The ECM attempts to move the temp door for a 2 second duration at a frequency of 3 times every 20 seconds before storing a DTC.)
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Voltage check | ● Poor connection of connected part ● Open circuit in harness ● Short circuit in harness ● Faulty DR Air Mix actuator ● Fault A/C Control Unit |
Threshold value | ● 0.5V<Potentiometer voltage < 4.5V | |
Detecting time | ● 40sec | |
FAIL SAFE | ● Setting temperature : 17℃-24.5℃ fix at max. cooling position ● Setting temperature : 25℃-32℃ fix at max. heating position |
※ Voltage value of Air Mix potentiometer as a function of temp door position.
Door position | Voltage | Error Detecting Condition |
Max. cool | 0.3±0.15V | Undervoltage : 0.08V or less |
Max.warm | 4.7±0.15V | Overvoltage : 4.9V or more |
